The 2022 Platinum Jubilee Gold Proof Piedfort Sovereign PF70 Ultra Cameo is one of the most prestigious sovereign issues of the modern era, struck to commemorate the 70th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II’s reign.
Produced in 22 carat gold by The Royal Mint, this piedfort sovereign is struck on a double-thickness flan, giving it greater weight, depth and presence than a standard proof sovereign. Piedfort sovereigns are issued in far smaller numbers and are widely regarded as premium collector pieces.
This example has been graded PF70 Ultra Cameo by NGC, the highest grade achievable. PF70 confirms a flawless coin under magnification, with strong contrast between frosted devices and deep mirrored fields.
The reverse features Benedetto Pistrucci’s iconic St George and the Dragon design, while the obverse carries the definitive portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, making this coin both historically significant and visually striking.

WHY COLLECT THE PLATINUM JUBILEE PIEDFORT SOVEREIGN?
The Platinum Jubilee marked a once-in-a-lifetime milestone, and piedfort sovereigns issued for this occasion are among the most sought-after modern releases. Their increased thickness, lower mintage and superior visual impact place them above standard proof sovereigns in both desirability and scarcity.
Examples achieving PF70 Ultra Cameo are particularly hard to find, as the thicker flans make flawless striking more challenging. As a result, top-graded piedfort sovereigns are highly favoured by advanced collectors and registry set builders.
